Read DebianDog-Wheezy first post for more information about the system setup.

HowTo thread
It is not Puppy linux and it has nothing to do with Puppy based on Debian.
Downloading DebianDog be ready to learn different package manager and different system setup in Debian manner.
DebianDog has tools similar to Puppy. You can create easy separate squashfs modules and remaster the system with all personal changes.
You can even use/convert pet packages and sfs files from Puppy but
it is not recommended
if you like to keep well working apt-get/Synaptic package manager (which is the main advantage using DebianDog).
More or less it is the same as DebianDog-Wheezy with the same programs and the same boot methods and save file options but using Debian Squeeze repository. Maybe will be more suitable for someone with old hardware.
Runs well and fast on P-III 600Mhz, 128Mb RAM + 500Mb SWAP file.
Three boot methods available.
Make your boot choice and you can delete 2 initrd files to save 15 Mb space from the system size.
Never use the same
folder name for more DebianDog frugal install on different partitions. Use different folder name for more DebianDog frugal install. You will find information and example boot codes in the links below for each boot method.
DebianDog is set to autologin as root. If you like to use it as multiuser system it is recommended to start XDM login manager.
Just type in terminal
and reboot.
will reverse back autologin as root.
Login details:

Check for updated iso images here first.
Download link:
- 147 Mb
Default WM - JWM with option to switch to IceWM.
Default File Manager - XFE with option to use Rox.
Default Internet Browser - Dillo.
root@debian:~# uname -a
Linux debian 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-486 #1 Debian 3.2.57-3+deb7u2~bpo60+1 i686 GNU/Linux
You can download separate DEVX, locales and other extra sfs modules
or using sfs-get from the menu.
Archive DebianDog-Squeeze repository:
To test DebianDog for first time you need to burn it on CD and boot from it, or use DebDog-Squeeze-installer (
click here to download and extract the archive
- working from most linux systems) to make frugal install to HDD, USB or SD-card. Or extract /live folder on top of a partition or USB and add boot code in grub menu.lst. Read the text file inside.
DebianDog-Squeeze iso is changed to iso-hybrid and you can make bootable usb from it using dd command. This option is for users with more experience and makes the usb partition with DebianDog files read-only without option to replace the included boot menu with custom menu entry.
Hybrid-iso to usb example using /dev/sdb flash drive posted here.
It is recommended to use DebianDog-Squeeze-installer working on most linux systems (
click here to download and extract the archive
) instead using dd command to create bootable usb.
To keep the size small as possible all /usr/share/locale files for the included packages are moved in separate squashfs module (03-squeeze-locale.squashfs) available for download from sfs-get or from
In case you like to change the localization install
and load the module or place it inside /live/image/live to be loaded at boot time.
You can also install localepurge and copy only the language files you need from the squashfs module in /usr/share/locale directory to save space in the future.
More information about changing localization read
from Fred with localisation support (the default menu displays categories and menu entries only in English). In case you like to change the localisation type menu-openbox in terminal or start it from System -> Menu Openbox.
script in case you have very old machine (128 - 256Mb RAM).
Run it in terminal from time to time and the system will work faster. For example this is the result running the script after fresh boot without starting any applications (256Mb RAM computer):
This script will clear cached memory and free up your ram.
At the moment you have 110 MiB cached and 34 MiB free memory.
This freed 128 MiB, so now you have 162 MiB of free RAM.
More tips from William read
Changes from DebianDog-Wheezy version:
1. Default web browser Dillo.
2. New make encrypted save file utility available from menu entry.
3. Pup-volume-monitor changed.
4. Gnome-mplayer-1.0.7 replaced with Gmplayer-4.6.3-SVN-r32666
5. Some scripts changes to work in squeeze.
6. Yad replaced with older 0.19 version.
7. Different gtkdialog binary (Pburn wasn't working with default gtkdialog from Wheezy).
8. PicDrop desktop icon removed (it doesn't work in squeeze).
9. Compression changed from xz to gzip for the main module, all extra modules for download and remstering scripts. The iso now is 40Mb bigger just because this compression type change but works fast and well on very old hardware. You can still use, load, boot, create xz compressed modules from DebianDog-Squeeze if it is needed.
10. Older version of sfs-get-smokey-get without elinks as dependency. Loading the site content slower but saves 12Mb space.
11. RemasterDog and RemasterCow moded with extra cleaning in /var/run needed for Squeeze.
12. No systemd boot options (systemd is not available in squeeze repository).

Thanks to
we have permanent home:
It is only testing version of cleaned Debian Squeeze 6.0.8 Live CD.
Special thanks to JBV for his guidance and magic tricks I learn from him and to Sickgut for opening my eyes to Debian Live project.
Light-Debian-Core-Test.iso uses kernel 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae
Xserver-xorg-core, JWM, H3V web browser, XFE file manager, ZIP archiver, ALSA, WVDial, Wireless-tools, Wpasupplicant, Squashfs-tools supporting xz compression, modified part of filemnt puppy linux script to mount SFS, Squashfs and ISO files with single click (new window opens and after closing the file is auto-unmounted). There is Mount-Drives menu included for mounting HDD, USB and optical drives (also with scripts).
Wired internet connection should work without issues. Unfortunately I can't test wireless connection.
To use apt-get first run in terminal:
apt-get update
Created on IBM Netvista Desktop PC with PIII 600 Mhz, 128 Mb RAM and SWAP partition. Tested on several old computers and Laptop Toshiba Satellite.
The system is configured not to install suggested packages. To download suggested packages rename or delete /etc/apt/apt.conf file and run apt-get update. There is also alt-sources.list with alternative backport sources in the same folder.
If there is interest of this project I can give more detailed information.
About using save file, frugal install option, kind of full install option, remastering, cleaning save file, etc.
While I continue helping JBV with FoxyRoxyLinux I intend to work also on this project and make it more puppy like and feel and I will update this post with newer versions and changes. It will never be real puppy and it will not be able to install pet packages. I will try to keep this core as small as possible.
The main reason I post this is to give a chance for anyone who has troubles installing programs in his favorite puppy to use this small debian core, apt-get the needed program and have it working in a few minutes.
If there is no interest or the site administration feel this topic should not be here, please, move it where it fits better.
Cheers, Toni

This works for me:
title Light Debian Core
uuid 9544e76c-4dc2-4023-97f5-bad2a907641d
kernel /live/vmlinuz boot=live
initrd /live/initrd.img
For those not in the know, the 'uuid' is found by running 'blkid' in a terminal and copying the entry corresponding to the partition you installed to.

I`ve watched the Debian Live Project for years now. Some interesting things going on over there.
I`ll give it a try saintless. Tx.
Update: A perfect example of my post in "Repositories", MyDrive offers no url for it`s shares.
Clicked the link in Firefox and it does nothing. Tried several times. I`ll try again later.

Hi, Anikin,
extract live folder on top of a partition.
Here is my boot code (live folder is on /sda1):

Hi saintless,
This is a very interesting result.
If you do not make any secret of it:
I would like to see the details of your distribution assembly.
Which modules and what the keys are set.
What and how removed from the assembly manually.
If you can, show a log file of the assembly.
I want to say that there are very important details and nuances for those who want to repeat this work with some other source data.

Hi, Sklimkin,
not a secret at all
, but I'm afraid I will disapoint you about distribution assembly. There is no assembly in the real meaning of the word. I can't show a log file but it is easy to repeat what I did (at least with debian live and puppy I think).
In the next days in another post I will discribe all my steps with links to the needed files.
Short description - the result is all dpkg database and squashfs-tools with xz compression work and efforts.
I took debian live squeeze standard live cd and extracted the content of filesystem.squashfs in live-rw save file. By the way this is something between frugal and full install option.
Next step was to create small squash file with only boot and dev folders inside. All system works inside RW save file and the small squash file is only for boot. It is not needed after live-rw save file is squashed back together. After reboot with persistent grub option I have all the content of debian live cd in rw mode inside save file.
The kernel was upgradet with apt-get from bacports debian sources. Nothing is removed from kernel modules. I had to create manual iinitrd.img for it. The old kernel was removed the same way with apt-get.. Then I started purging packages with:
apt-get purge
apt-get autoremove
available and status files have all the information about the installed packages.
After that I did:
apt-get dist-upgrade
The rest of the packages were replased with the newest version.
Some more packages were added to make sure xz compression and all kind of network and audio hardware will work.
Then I did small manual cleaning from /usr/share/locales and I used a script from FoxyRoxy linux to replace all files in man, doc and info folders with zero size files with the same names (thank you JBV) and removing all .wh files. This way dpkg database doesn't complain something is missing.
The rest of the work was cleaning manual files with hardware settings from my machine, finding the best squashfs xz compression command and finding and editing right scripts for mounting files and partition . The uncompressed folder is 202 Mb and the squash file is only 55 Mb thanks to xz,
Actualy this iso has only one squash file but I have one without xorg (37 Mb) and one with xorg + x11 apps (17 MB).
As you can see it is all dpkg database work and some tricks learned from my friends in linux community
I still consider myself as linux newb.I just try to find an easy way to get what i need from linux
Cheers, Toni
Farewell, Nooby, you will be missed...

great and interesting work.
No way a linux newbie can pull it off.
You are in this "make debian live simliar to puppy" project for 2 years now. so there is a lot of know how.
Thank you!

Hi, Toni,
assembly of course is the wrong word.
Better to use the word create (make).
I do custom Debian via debootstrap and chroot.
Therefore asked about the log file.
I accept/know debian live squeeze/wheezy & squashfs-modules.
frugal, persistent and full install option also known for me.
After installing Network-manager and Xorg size of the system increases dramatically. That's why I drew attention to either Light-Debian-Core-Live-CD
Just uploaded to a virtual machine Light-Debian-Core-Test.iso
Everything works fine, minimalism also understandable.
I use/select for custom install: debian-minbase + kernel + Network-manager + Xorg + LXDE + slim + mc + live-boot + live-initramfs
I could not get the result filesystem.squashfs less than 248 MB
I hope that your comments will help find a way to reduce my Debian.

Hi, Emil
Nice to see you again and thank you. I have parts of your scripts also included. In fact unmount-all script is yours untouched one.

Perhaps this will help you a little:
Using xz compression will help you much if your kernel supports it.
I can upload version with separated xorg file. Then the base will be 37 Mb. You can start adding packages from this level.
This command gives me best compression results:
mksquashfs /live/image/01 /live/image/01-base-xorg.squashfs -b 1048576 -comp xz -Xbcj x86
Maybe it will help you as well.
I think you can spare Network-manager. I don't have it installed.
Replacing /usr/share/doc, man and info files with zero sized might spare you 50-60 Mb uncompressed data or even more.
Cheers, Toni
Farewell, Nooby, you will be missed...

Did a quick live test run, installed Iceweasel as a test...... old version (3.5.16) but worked, and did a quick install.It boots .....as far as I've gotten so far.
Since I also run/experiment with Debian Sid and Jessie it's impressive how you achieved such a small base to work from.Not Puppy but a very interesting project on it's own.
I'll keep checking for future updates/info.
Great job.

Blogging Pioneer Dave Winer Launches Outliner Web App That Saves Everything Locally
Dave Winer, who has been blogging for nearly 20 years at Scripting News and helped create RSS and podcasting, has a new product out today called Little Outliner.
What's different about Little Outliner is that while it looks and feels like a Web app — it's written in JavaScript and runs in HTML5 — it stores everything locally on each user's computer, rather than on servers controlled by the company.
Because of that, Little Outliner is really only a personal tool — there's no way to share outlines with people who aren't using the same machine. So it may appeal to people who don't like storing their stuff in some company's cloud.
However, Winer — who is releasing Little Outliner as the first project from a company called Small Picture with partner Kyle Shank — indicated that he anticipated networked and shared outlines in future releases.
Winer told CNET that the product harkens back to his outliner MORE, which debuted all the way back in 1986.
He noted that there are desktop outliners, such as OmniOutliner and Tinderbox, and browser-based outliners, like Workflowy and Trello, but that Little Outliner occupies a space in between.

BROOKLYN (WABC) -- A rabbi who used to work in Brooklyn was arrested in California Tuesday over allegations of child sex abuse in our area.Rabbi Menachem Tewel is expected to return to Brooklyn as early as Wednesday to face a series of criminal sex act charges.
He was taken into custody by police at the JEM Center, a Jewish youth community center on Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills, where he now works.
The Kings County District Attorney's Office confirmed that an arrest warrant was issued earlier this month for 30-year-old Rabbi Tewel.
"Mendel Tevel has been accused by many people of being a child molester," said Ilanit Gluckosky, of Jewish Community Watch, an organization that focuses on child abuse prevention. "It was brought to the attention of Jewish Community Watch."
According to the organization, the charges against Tewel go back to the mid-1990s and as recently as 2004.
The watchdog group reported on four men who accused Tewel of molesting them when they were boys in Brooklyn.
"No child, no parent, no one has alleged anything against the JEM Center," center attorney Dana Cole said. "This involves activities that occurred several years ago in New York City."
Jewish Community Watch says it alerted local rabbis about the allegations against Tewel in August.
"Law enforcement told them there was no warrant, there was no criminal investigation, so JEM Center attempted to do due diligence," Cole said. "They were assured by law enforcement that nothing was going on, and then they were surprised today at this arrest."
The JEM Center's director, Rabbi Hertzel Illulian, is Tewel's father-in-law.
"God will help that it will show that it's all false and will clear up, and people will see while we will still continue our good job for the community," Illulian said.

You probably heard, last Friday there was a protest against Mayor Bloomberg's aggressive campaign of putting in new bike lanes, with a target of the new one on 1st Ave. in Manhattan.
Gothamist covered the action with this story.

I'm sorry, but of all the things to be upset about…bike lanes? Seems like the number one complaint of the anti-bike lane demonstrators is an old one: "Bike riding on the sidewalk." Ok, then shouldn't that be the focus of your protest? Somehow the infrastructure designed to give cyclists a place to ride has become the bad guy.
People like to complain that there is no enforcement of bad cycling behavior. I'd say it's pretty equal…there is no enforcement of anyone, pedestrians, motorists and cyclists. Everyone is NYC is guilty. Let the finger pointing begin.
Our recently married pirate, Chris Ryan was on the scene and produced these two videos at the demonstration that gives some insight into the debate.
Mike Dee, says it best…"Everything in NYC is a compromise."
Well, there is another anti-bike lane protest coming up.
This time in Brooklyn, against the already established Prospect Park West bike lane.

Vandalism reported at memorial to shooting victims
3 victims involved in 2008 shooting on Wisconsin-Michigan border
BREITUNG TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Authorities say a memorial dedicated to three young people killed in a 2008 shooting on the Wisconsin-Michigan border has been vandalized.
WLUC-TV reported damage to the stone memorial at a train bridge in Dickinson County's Breitung Township was done within the last week. Michigan State Police say they're seeking tips from the public to determine who might be responsible for the damage.
The shooting killed 19-year-old Bryan Mort and 18-year-old Anthony Spigarelli of Iron Mountain, Mich., and 17-year-old Tiffany Pohlson of Vulcan, Mich.
Scott John Johnson pleaded no contest to 10 felonies, including three counts of first-degree intentional homicide. The 40-year-old from Kingsford, Mich., was sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus 295 years and will never be eligible for parole.

This article or section contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and official bonus maps.
Blademaster of the Blackrock Clan[1] was an orc of the Blackrock clan[1] unlike many blademasters who are from the Burning Blade clan.[2] He was the evil blademaster of his clan in charge of communications with their demon masters after they re-embraced their Demon-worshipping heritage.[1]
During the Third War the Blackrock clan invaded Strahnbrad and the prince Arthas Menethil proceeded to defend the town and defeated the Slave Master, while the paladin Uther the Lightbringer went to attack the Blackrock clan village. During the defense of the town the orcs sent prisoners to the Blackrock clan where the Blademaster of the Blackrock clan was located. After Arthas killed the Slave Master he moved on to Uther's base,[3] who was waiting for two knights that were sent to parley with the Blademaster of the Blackrock Clan, but the blademaster killed the knights and sent just the horses in return.[1]
The Blademaster then sent orcs and jungle trolls to invade Uther's base. After some time he used the Mirror Image ability and sent his image to speak with Uther, he told him that the warlocks of the Blackrock clan had spoken and that the demons would rain from the sky and that the world would burn. Uther attacked the image but realized that it was an illusion. Meanwhile the real Blademaster of the Blackrock Clan sacrificed the captured prisoners to appease his demon masters.[1]
Arthas was angered by the Blademaster's actions and commanded his troops to slay the blademaster, before he had a chance to communicate with the Burning Legion. After a battle, Arthas destroyed the orc encampment and killed the Blademaster of the Blackrock Clan, but the orcs hadn't been defeated. In the end, it was a sound victory and the orcs were defeated but still active. With the Blademaster dead, the Alliance went home,[1] and many orcs were still alive and led by Jubei'Thos.[4]
- Paladin, fool! The warlocks of the Blackrock clan has spoken. Soon, demons will rain from the sky and this wretched world will burn!
- The hour of doom aproached! Let this paltry sacrifice appease our demon masters!
- He is level two (2) in normal mode, but it's level six (6) in hard mode.
- He is simply called Blademaster, with his class being also blademaster; but in a cinematic he is called Blademaster of the Blackrock Clan.
- There is a skin in the World Editor of the Blademaster of the Blackrock Clan with red and black striped warpaint on his body and a black beard; however, the actual Blademaster in the campaign appears as normal. This skin is instead used for Jubei'thos , the Blademaster in Blackrock & Roll, Too!

In this post, I would like to call attention to a little-known medieval textile object at the Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest and also to an important exhibition in Pannonhalma, where the textile is currently on view.
The object in question is a 14th century altar frontal (antependium) with the figures of the Virgin and Child, St Benedict and St. Chrysogonus. Previously it was thought to date from the late 15th century, and it was little studied, but recent research shed light to its origins: the object in fact dates from around 1360, and originates from the Church of the Benedictine Monastery of St Chrysogonus at Zadar. A Benedictine donor can be seen kneeling next to the throne of the Virgin - probably one of the abbots of the monastery. The antependium entered the Museum of Applied Arts along with the collection of Bishop Zsigmond Bubics at the beginning of the 20th century. Similar altar frontals - mostly made in Venice - are known from other churches in Zadar and in the region. One of these works, known as the Veglia Altar Frontal is now at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and was likely designed by Paolo Veneziano around 1330. That piece comes from the cathedral of Krk in Dalmatia (known as Veglia in Italian).
If you would like to know more on the altar frontal in Budapest, read a recent study on it by Silvija Banić on academia.edu.
The Budapest altar frontal is currently on view (after a recent conservation treatment) at an exhibition organized by the Benedictine Arcabbey of Pannonhalma. Titled Saint Benedict and Benedictine Spirituality, the exhibition is on view at the new Abbey Museum until the end of September.
The exhibition allows an insight into the 1500-year-long history of Benedictine mentality through assorted works of art from the collections of the Benedectine Abbey of Lavantall, the Archabbey of Pannonhalma, and other museums. The most significant works of art in the exhibition are medieval liturgical objects, including ones which were taken from the treasury of St. Blasien Monastery in Germany to Carinthia after the provisions of Joseph II: a 12th century chasuble decorated with scenes from the Old and the New Testament, and the monumental Adelheid-cross decorated with gems, which had been originally commissioned in the 11th century by the wife of Hungarian king Saint Ladislaus, and which contains a splinter of the True Cross.
|Adelheid-cross, St. Paul im Lavanttal
I haven't seen the Pannonhalma exhibition and its catalogue yet, but I may yet write a review of it, if time permits - perhaps a comparative review with the recent Benedictine exhibition organized in Prague.

Think You'll Get Social Security…Think Again
When most people think of social security, they think of senior citizens collecting a paycheck. That's just half the story. A lot of people also receive social security checks due to disability. Due to the poor job market, suddenly more and more are seeking this assistance. This is putting additional strain on the social security system.
Between the ponzi-like finance of social security, the aging baby boomers, and now more and more people being disabled, young lawyers can pretty much count that they won't be getting social security payments until they're very, very old (if at all).

MILWAUKEE - Brewers star Ryan Braun drew a standing ovation in his return from a drug suspension, then was ruled out in the first call overturned under baseball's expanded replay system as Milwaukee beat the Atlanta Braves, 2-0 ,on Monday in a season opener.
Braun went 1 for 4 and stole a base in the fourth inning that helped set up a two-run double by Aramis Ramirez.
A smattering of boos during Braun's first at-bat was easily drowned out by the overwhelming applause. The former MVP was suspended for the final 65 games last year in the Biogenesis doping scandal.
Later, Braun had his infield single to lead off the sixth overturned to out after the call was challenged by Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez under Major League Baseball's new replay format.
The review took 58 seconds.
Yovani Gallardo (1-0) tossed six shutout innings for the win.
Making his first opening day start, Julio Teheran (0-1) allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings.
� Cardinals 1, Reds 0: In Cincinnati, Yadier Molina's homer broke a seventh-inning tie, leading St. Louis Cardinals to a victory over the Reds.
Adam Wainwright (1-0) used his refined sinker to finally get the best of the Reds, who have hit him like no other team. Wainwright allowed three hits in seven innings, fanning nine.
St. Louis escaped a threat in the eighth. Trevor Rosenthal retired all three batters in the ninth, finishing a three-hitter for the defending National League champions.
Bryan Price lost his managing debut with Cincinnati, which opened the season with eight players on the disabled list, its most since 2007.
Johnny Cueto (0-1) allowed three hits in seven innings.
� Pirates 1, Cubs 0 (10): In Pittsburgh, Neil Walker homered off Carlos Villanueva leading off the 10th inning, and the Pirates benefited from an overturned to call to beat the Cubs on opening day.
Reliever Bryan Morris (1-0) won with the help of an overturned pickoff call in the top of the 10th under Major League Baseball's new replay system. Starter Francisco Liriano and four relievers combined for 11 strikeouts.
Emilio Bonifacio went 4 for 5 for Chicago, but the Cubs were 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position and wasted a fine start by Jeff Samardzija, who scattered five hits over seven innings.
� Nationals 9, Mets 7 (10): In New York, Anthony Rendon hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning and drove in a career-high four runs, twice rallying the Nationals against the Mets' suspect bullpen for an opening-day victory.
Denard Span hit a tying double with two outs in the ninth off closer Bobby Parnell, and Ian Desmond put the Nationals in front for the first time with a sacrifice fly in the 10th. Rendon connected two batters later against former Washington pitcher John Lannan, securing a win for Matt Williams in his first game as a major league manager.
Stephen Strasburg struck out 10 over six innings in his third straight opening-day start.
Juan Lagares and Andrew Brown both homered for New York after they were surprise additions to the lineup.
Aaron Barrett (1-0) struck out two in a perfect inning to win his major league debut.
Jeurys Familia (0-1) took the loss, hurt by catcher Travis d'Arnaud's passed ball.

Wireless Expanding to Residential Rooms in 8 Halls
By the start of the Fall 2012 semester, students living in Seneca, Oneida, Sheldon, Scales, Waterbury, Lonis, Mackin, and Moreland Halls will be able to use the campus wireless network from their individual residence rooms as well as lounge/common gathering areas.
CTS has been doing a tremendous amount of preparatory work to complete wireless availability to all campus residence halls. Work started in 2011 for Seneca, Oneida and Sheldon as rooms in these buildings will be receiving new data and cable TV wiring. New data closets and electrical circuits will be installed to accommodate this as well as proper heating, cooling and ventilation. This Spring semester, work started in the other buildings where cable pathways are being installed to accommodate the new access points.
Across all 8 buildings, approximately 650 access points and 115 new network switches will be installed. All network closets in the buildings will also be receiving new battery backup. All access points will be able to monitored and administered remotely by CTS Networking staff with the addition of 5 new controllers.
Funnelle Hall will be worked on over the summer, however wireless service may not be available for use until sometime during the Fall 2012 semester.
Onondaga will be the final building to receive wireless service. Preparatory work will be done over the 2012-2013 academic year with installation of access points to occur in the summer 2013. It is expected that students will be able to use the service by the start of the Fall 2013 semester.

A car bomb blamed on a radical group linked to al Qaeda killed at least 26 people in a rebel-held city of northern Syria on Wednesday, an opposition monitoring group said.
Hours earlier, a Belgian commander from the same Al Qaeda-linked group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), was reported killed in northern Syria. ISIL supporters denied the death.
An array of Syrian rebel groups, including the large alliance known as the Islamic Front, have been trying to push out ISIL, a small but powerful affiliate of al Qaeda with a core of foreign fighters.
The fighting has sparked the bloodiest internecine clashes in the history of Syria's nearly 3-year-old uprising, with hundreds of rebels killed.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said most of those killed in the car bomb in Jarablus were from rival rebel groups, though it counted at least 3 civilians. It said the death toll was likely to rise, as dozens more were severely wounded.
ISIL fighters have been losing territory in the area around Jarablus, in the northern Aleppo province, though they have recaptured much of the northern province of Raqqa and other parts of Aleppo province.
The group has vowed to use tactics such car bombs against its rivals, and some Syrian ISIL members have used social media to warn fellow Syrians to avoid rebel checkpoints or even flee towns that were likely car bomb targets.
Rebels hold large swaths of territory in northern and eastern Syria but their infighting has put those gains at risk – Assad clawed back some territory east of Aleppo, Syria's second city, earlier this week.
Elsewhere in the rebel-held north, local activists said the Belgian commander of al Qaeda-linked forces in Syria was killed in fierce clashes between rival rebel groups for the northern town of Saraqeb.
ISIL supporters, however, denied reports that the local Saraqeb "emir", known as Abu Baraa al-Jazairi, had been killed.
Activists said rival rebels ambushed a convoy of ISIL fighters and killed Jazairi, who is believed to be a Belgian citizen of Algerian origin.
Belgium's foreign ministry said it was aware of the reports of Jazairi's death but could not confirm them.
The alleged Jazairi killing comes amid heavy fighting for ISIL-held Saraqeb, which straddles three highways that lead to the capital Damascus, Aleppo and Latakia, the coastal stronghold of President Bashar al-Assad.
"The Islamic Front is playing 'all in' at Saraqeb … it is a strategic area they want, whatever it costs. They've been trying to control it for a week," said a rebel source with ties to hardline Islamist groups, who declined to be named.
Western powers have reduced their support for the Syrian opposition due to the advance of radical al Qaeda-linked groups.
Some observers suspect that Gulf Arab countries bankrolling the rebels are pressuring them to weaken al Qaeda groups in return for support.
The conflict has created an alliance of several non-ideological groups with the Islamic Front, the largest amalgam of rebel forces in Syria, though not all of its units are supporting the campaign to flush ISIL out of its northern bases.
ISIL is the reincarnation of al Qaeda's branch in Iraq. Its numbers are smaller than other rebel groups but its battle-hardened militants, many of them foreigners with experience fighting with al Qaeda in other war zones, have regained lost ground in recent days.

The newly introduced helmet cam may be a hit with Big Bash League fans, but for a horrible moment Travis Birt worried that it could contribute to his downfall at the Gabba last night.
The Hobart Hurricanes number three's unbeaten, match-winning 57 sent his side to an eight-wicket victory over the Brisbane Heat with an over to spare at the Gabba last night.
But his knock, part of a 95-run stand with Owais Shah (32 not out) wasn't without drama.
In the 16th over he looked to pull a short ball from last-minute Heat signing Thisara Perera but only managed a thin edge and the ball ended up in keeper Chris Hartley's gloves.
Sporting the helmet cam, worn by the Heat's Shane Watson earlier in the afternoon, Birt watched as the ball, Hartley's gloves and the turf came together seemingly simultaneously.
The umpires conferred and decided the ball hit grass before glove and Birt was there at the end as Shah hit Cameron Gannon to the fence for the winning runs with a full over to spare.
After the match he joked that the helmet cam may have contributed to his downfall.
"I was wearing the helmet cam and I would have been quite annoyed if they'd used that (footage) and turned around and given me out," he said.
"I got a good look at it and I knew that it bounced and I knew that Harts thought it had bounced as well. You can't really see on the footage but I think the right decision was made, and that's not just because it was me."
Despite tight spells from Nathan Hauritz (0-17 off three), Watson (0-18 off three) and Ben Cutting (0-19 off three), the Heat failed to get the wickets needed to stem the flow of runs from the Hurricanes.
Earlier, Dan Christian (49) and Joe Burns (44) helped the Heat set the visitors a total of 173 for victory in front of a crowd of 14,057.
The chase got off to a good start with Jon Wells(39) and Tim Paine (29) both getting their eyes in, but it went into overdrive when Shah and Birt came together at 2-80 in the 11th over.
Birt said when the free-swinging import came to the crease it helped him open his shoulders as well.
"I was struggling right up until Owais came out and it took for him to bang a couple over the boundary to get me into gear," he said.
"He's the ultimate professional. He's a real gun, and he's not a big-name signing like some of the other teams have made, but he's an effective guy and we've got him wrapped up for the next two years.
"He hasn't played any cricket and he just came out there and was unbelievable."
Shah and Birt combined for four sixes and eight boundaries, but a six-over spell from Cutting and Hauritz managed to slow the scoring in the middle overs.
However, Birt said he never doubted his side's ability to chase down the runs.
"You know you can score quickly late and we had wickets in the shed as well," he said.
"For me personally I just needed to find the middle of the bat and once Owais came out I started to."

The front piece is stamped on Watercolor paper. I simply colored on the watercolor paper with my markers (So Saffron, Crumb Cake, Tempting Turquoise, and Pacific Point) then I used my AQUA PAINTER to blend it all in. I used my HEAT TOOL to dry it completely then used my EMBOSSING BUDDY before embossing the "sand" in silver and gold using the GORGEOUS GRUNGE stamp set, and both silver and gold embossing powders. I did one at a time, and heat embossed before I did the second color. The Seashell was stamped in SOFT SUEDE and quickly added CLEAR EMBOSSING POWDER to it to give it the shine. The sentiments are from 2 retired stamp sets SPECIAL BLESSINGS and OCCASIONAL QUOTES. I love the little Pearls for the added touch of elegance and real feel to the sea.Today is the LAST DAY of June so please use this Hostess Code when placing your on line order today.
Here are the supplies I used

Redbirds To Hold #Twinterview With Pitcher Joe Kelly Thursday
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Redbirds will hold an interview via Twitter (Twinterview) with St. Louis Cardinals pitcher and former Redbird Joe Kelly at 4:00 p.m. CT on Thursday, December 20.
Fans are required to follow the Memphis Redbirds (@memphisredbirds) and Kelly (@Joe_Kelly_Jr) on Twitter in order to view the conversation. Topics such as the offseason, 2012 MLB playoffs, coach movement, the farm system, and general baseball topics will be discussed during this time.
In order to follow along and participate live on Twitter, fans are asked to submit their questions for Kelly by tweeting to @memphisredbirds with the hashtag #twinterview.
Kelly posted a PCL-leading 2.86 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 12 starts for the Redbirds last season before having his contract purchased in June and finishing the season in St. Louis. Initially filling in for the injured Jaime Garcia in the St. Louis rotation before later transitioning to the bullpen, the right-hander tied for 5th among National League rookies with 107 innings pitched and was 9th with 75 strikeouts. His 3.53 ERA also ranked 2nd among NL rookies with 100 innings pitched or more. Kelly was drafted by St. Louis in the third round of the 2009 draft out of the University of California at Riverside.

CHICAGO – Bally Total Fitness made it official last night: The second-largest revenue-producing club company in the industry filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The filing by Chicago-based Bally and more than 40 of its affiliates took place in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan.
Court papers show that Bally listed $396.8 million of assets and $761.3 million of debt as of Dec. 31, 2006, according to a report by Reuters.
On Friday, Bally announced that it had received enough votes from holders of its 10 1/2 percent senior notes due 2011 and its 9 7/8 percent senior subordinated notes due 2007 to go forward with the reorganization plan that it announced on May 31. If confirmed, the plan will restructure and reduce Bally's debt, strengthen its cash position and provide greater financial flexibility, the company says.
The reorganization plan will reduce the debt on the senior subordinated notes by $150 million, reduce cash interest expense by as much as $29 million per year and provide Bally with $90 million in capital through a rights offering backed by affiliates Anschutz Investment Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Tennenbaum Capital Partners LLC, who collectively hold more than 80 percent of the senior subordinated notes. Stockholders, including Liberation Investment Group and Harbinger Capital Partners, who proposed an alternate restructuring plan that was rejected by Bally, will receive nothing for their shares as the company goes private.
Bally has lined up $292 million of financing with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc. to fund operations during and after bankruptcy proceedings. The company said in today's press release that it expects to emerge from Chapter 11 "as promptly as possible."
The court granted Bally's motions to continue normal club operations and member services during the restructuring process, including the payment of vendors and employee salaries and benefits without interruption. However, Michael Scott Scudder, owner of the online consulting firm MSS FitBiz Connection, says on his Web site that Bally likely will close dozens of clubs and lay off a significant number of employees upon its filing for bankruptcy.
According to Reuters, court papers show that among the Bally affiliates that are reorganizing is Jack LaLanne Holding Corp., named for the fitness and nutritional expert.
Jeffries & Co. is serving as a financial advisor and the law firm Latham & Watkins LLP is the legal advisor for Bally during the bankruptcy process. A committee of Bally bondholders has retained Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital as its financial advisor and the law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP as its counsel.
More information about Bally's Chapter 11 filing is available at www.ballytotalfitness.com and from the company's Chapter 11 Web site, www.kccllc.net/bally.

One of the wierder Trumpisms.... he says 'it's a fact', and then says 'I don't know'......
Isn't that exactly the sort of rhetoric he used when promoting birtherism?
The White House correspondent for the One America News Network asked whether Ms Omar, a Representative for Minnesota, should be investigated for possibly marrying her sibling.
Theres a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it. I hear she was married to her brother, Mr Trump responded. .

Please don't interpret all I write as a complaint. It is merely a realization of the clothing in the fitness industry I feel need to be brought to light.
Before heading to NY for the P&G announcement, I had a photo shoot. We were supposed to wear white button up shirts. The woman's shirts that were provided were too small in the back and the shoulders. My only option was wearing a man's shirt. It was very ill fitting and I was feeling pretty self conscious about it. I hate not being able to wear a majority of woman's clothing. When I got to NY they had a different man's shirt for me to wear that was much better looking. I rolled the sleeves up and tried to look as feminine as possible. My mother was the only mother there who hadn't a jacket like the other moms because there wasn't one provided in her size.
The following week I went to Dallas for a media summit. There were tons of interviews, photos, videos, and anything else media related you could think of. We were given a goodie bag with clothes we were supposed to wear. My team mate Holley and I both received woman's clothes in the largest sizes possible through Nike up to 3Xs as well as well as Ralph Lauren but their woman's clothes come only to an XL. We tried one shirt on after another with no success only to end up once again, in men's clothes.
In a previous shoot I did in Hollywood, I had the same issues but, I took a picture to show the difference between a men's XL and a woman's. Here lies a problem I see so frequently it's upsetting. How are both of these shirts an XL? What message are clothing companies saying to our women? Sometimes it feels like they are saying, "It's ok for men to be a certain size but, not you." Women are often forced to be in a certain size bracket or it's too bad so sad.
In Dallas, I remember meeting USAW's Nike rep and she said, "I specifically told them to put 3Xs in there for you guys." Well, they did but a woman's 3X is bogus. It's like a men's 1.5X almost a 2X.. I tried on a men's 2X jacket and it fit fine. Holley and I just wore men's clothes for our shoots.
There were two rooms at the media summit. A Nike room and a Ralph Lauren room. These rooms were basically there to give us a little preview of the clothes that were to be provided to us for the Games. Let me first say that, I am very thankful to be getting nice, new, clothes to represent the USA in. I mostly have concerns for what I am actually going to be able to wear.
In the Nike room, I saw a lot of clothes I would like to wear but, I know they will not have women's clothes in my size or if they are "my size" they will still be ill-fitting. Even though this is the case, I can still get away with wearing men's clothes and not feel too out of place.
In the Polo Ralph Lauren room, it was way more obvious to me the difficulties I will have. I was talking to a representative there and she ensured me that "Everything will fit. I promise. If it doesn't you can yell at me." If they do have women's clothes in sizes that will fit the plus sized women, I will be surprised and greatly pleased for them to have taken us into consideration.
If they don't however, have extended sizes, our options are extremely limited. The main reason is because the men's and women's clothes are very gender dominant. There are no unisex clothes or clothes that could work either way. A casual look they had for the women was a polo dress and the counter was a pair of men's shorts, and a sweater vest/shirt thing. If I can't fit into the dress, is my only option is the men's outfit? No thank you.
Even though, I have been promised to have clothes that fit, please notice the size differences between the men and women on their website for their Olympic Collection:
Polo Women's Sizes
Polo Men's Sizes
The women's sizes go up to an XL while the men's go to a 6X.
I am not alone in this. There are other larger women on the Olympic Team this year. There have been for many years now. I wish with that in mind, there would have been more consideration for us. All people who qualify for the Olympics and get outfitting should feel included, comfortable, and ready to shine. I am a woman. I want to look and feel like one. I want to fit in with my team mates.
Am I going to sit here and cry about it? No. What am I doing to make change? Every time I get to talk about body image or my blog, I jump on it even in interviews. I spoke with Nike and Polo representatives and mentioned the issues. If no one speaks up or just accepts what's been handed to them, positive change will not happen. I want future athletes to be happy, comfortable and included. I want the fashion industry to rethink their ideas of what a female athlete can look like.
I have entered Under Armour's, "What's Beautiful?" Contest. My goal is to redefine the female athlete by being the example. I want to show the fitness clothing industry that athletes come in all shapes and sizes. Women come in all shapes and sizes. Athletic clothes should be available to all of us.
Please support me in my cause and follow me as I prove that "Beauty is Strength." Hopefully, If I am one of the finalists, or the winner, I can have an influence on Under Armour and other brands to rethink what they design and make is accessible to a broader range of women.

(CNN) -- Looking into the camera with her husband standing alongside, Gabrielle Giffords says, "Let's get this done."
The former congresswoman, who was severely injured after being shot in the head two years ago, appears in a new television ad released Monday and urges Congress to take action on issuing tougher gun laws.
"We have a problem. Where we shop; where we pray; where our children go to school. But there are solutions we can agree on, even gun owners like us," she says "Take it from me: Congress must act."
Her comments can be heard over images of the mass shootings in Aurora, Colo.; Newtown, Conn.; Oak Creek, Wisc.; and Tucson, Ariz.
The six-figure ad buy will run this week on television and online, according to the political action committee Americans for Responsible Solutions. Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, announced the launch of the organization last month on the two-year marking point of the Tucson shooting rampage that left six dead and 13 others wounded, including Giffords.
Since the group's launch a month ago, it has raised more than $1.5 million online, with an average contribution of less than $75, according to a release.
The group released the new ad the same day Vice President Joe Biden travels to Philadelphia to highlight the Obama administration's push for stricter gun legislation. Among the proposals backed by the president include a ban on assault weapons, universal background checks and limits to high-capacity magazines.
Obama will travel Friday to Chicago, where he will likely make mention of gun violence in a city that saw more than 500 firearm deaths last year. And first lady Michelle Obama attended the Chicago funeral Saturday for a slain teenager who died of gunfire late last month.
While an assault weapons ban appears increasingly unlikely, Giffords' new ad points to wide agreement on universal background checks. Current law stipulates that background checks are not required for private transactions, including those that take place at gun shows.
The commercial will run on cable news outlets, including CNN, in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, Cincinnati, Las Vegas, and Louisville, Kentucky. The cities represent home towns and states of congressional leaders. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi represents San Francisco, while House Speaker John Boehner comes from Ohio. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid represents Nevada and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was elected in Kentucky.
Along with an online campaign, the ad will specifically run in coordination Tuesday with President Obama's State of the Union address, where he's expected to talk about gun violence.
Giffords is also slated to attend the president's address this week. The appearance follows her powerful testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in late January, in which she pleaded for Congress to make big changes to prevent gun violence.

Legislative session likely to go into overtime
Legislative leaders say they could end the session this week despite disagreements over budget bills and Gov. Terry Branstad's policy priorities.
They have a strong incentive to close up shop and go home - their daily allowance for working and living in Des Moines runs out Tuesday.
Three budget bills on which there are differences are in conference committees, where lawmakers from both parties negotiate compromises.
Differences remain on a school anti-bullying bill and expansion of broadband Internet, but leaders say resolution is possible.
Branstad appears unfazed by ongoing criticism from Democrats about payments for secrecy in settlement agreements and other executive branch issues pursued by the Government Oversight Committee.
He says his focus remains on the substance of issues and he remains optimistic.

Estee Lauder Debuts at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week
For the first time in the company's history, Estee Lauder hit Mercedes Benz Fashion Week to do the beauty for Derek Lam!
Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux led a team of 15 artists for the show, while manicurist Jin Soon Choi worked her magic on the nails using a new color that will be released in the fall.
"When Derek showed me the fabrics that inspired his Fall 2010 collection – bold and muted tones mixed with earthy pigments including terracotta, greens and browns – I thought the makeup shades should be complimentary. So we chose a blend of bold blue shadows on the eyes, shimmering copper lips and flawless, matte skin created with a light foundation -- an on-trend beauty preview of what we will see for Fall 2010." --Tom Pecheux, Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director.
On the eyes are new Estée Lauder EyeShadow Tested Backstage – Shades Launching Fall 2010, Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil in Midnight Blue, and Estée Lauder TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara in Black.
The skin was prepped with Estée Lauder Double Wear Light Foundation, while cheeks were left bare. To finish, Pure Color Crystal Lipstick in Crystal Beige was applied to the lips.
I am really excited to see the new collections under Tom Pecheux. I predict they will be amazing.

Backstage Hair at Sophie Theallet with Aveda
The vibe, according to lead stylist Antoinette Beenders, was country girl meets princess at Sophie Theallet. A messy updo with lots of wispy and long tendrils escaping played that out.
"The Sophie Théallet hair look for this season is soft, tousled, and romantic—a mélange of country girl and princess. Hair is loosely pulled back and twisted into a textured, slightly teased ponytail with long wisps of hair framing the face," said Beenders.
Here is how to get the look:
- Prep damp hair with Aveda Volumizing Tonic for volume and shine, massaging it into roots. Blow-dry hair at half speed.
- Create a deep side part and separate the fringe and hair around the face.
- Sprinkle Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion into the rest of the hair for matte texture and tousled volume, massaging it into the scalp.
- Slightly backcomb hair at the crown, using a wide-tooth comb to create a textured, distressed look. Spray with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray (launching in June, 2010) for maximum hold.
- Pull hair into a low, loose, half-up ponytail and secure with an elastic band, leaving the fringe and front wisps loose.
- Divide remaining bottom half of hair into right and left sections. Backcomb the right section and twist it over the ponytail elastic. Secure hair just to the left side of the ponytail using hair pins.
- Take the remaining left section of free hair and create another loose ponytail behind the left ear. Spray with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray.
- Combine the two ponytails by pinning them together behind the left ear. Sprinkle Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion liberally through the length of the ponytail and tousle with fingers to create texture. Finish the look with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray.

Christian Siriano Rocks the Updo at his NYFW Show
I can always count on Christian Siriano to give me good fashion show, and he never disappoints. This time he is thrilling me with his desire for the updo in his look for fall and winter 2010 at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week.
Christian chose Aveeda's lead stylist Antoinette Beenders to help him recreate the 1960's Parisian updo. Here is how she created the look:
- Prep hair with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray for light, workable hold.
- Working from bottom to top, curl hair in one-inch pieces with a medium barrel curling iron. Loop each curled piece around your finger and pin against the head to set the curl. Allow curls to cool, and then remove clips. Gently brush hair out.
- Separate a top section of hair—from the hairline to the crown—and pin it away to separate. Backcomb the remainder of hair and spray with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray to create ultra-volume. Brush backcombed hair through.
- Gather the left side of hair and pull tightly to the back of the head. Pin in place vertically, up the center line of the head, with bobby pins. Smooth hair against the head with fingers and spray with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray to minimize flyaways.
- Gather the right side of hair and pull tightly to the back of the head. Wrap hair inwards around your fingers to create a tornado-like twist. Pin in place and spray with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray for ultra-strong hold.
- Remove pins from the remaining front section of hair and backcomb to create volume. Spray with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray. Comb hair away from the face and pin to the top of the twist, creating wave-like volume at the crown of the head. Set the look with Aveda Control Force™ Hair Spray.

NYFW: Hair at Jeremy Laing Presentation
If you can picture ethereal, sketched fairies in your mind, then you have insight into what Marco Santini of IONStudio was creating with the Jeremy Laing models' hair for his Mercedes Benz Fashion Week presentation.
First, Santini wet hair with Davines DEDE Conditioner to condition and strengthen the hair without leaving it heavy. He then dried the hair and separated it into two sections. Backcombing by the nape of the neck, Santini used an old fashioned sewing needle and some elastic string to weave the hair together to create an organic ponytail. Lastly Santini applied Davines For Wizards No. 4 Glossy Modeling Putty, a paste that creates texture and separation with natural movement, to the hair to finish the look.

StellaNude Linen Mist a Worthy Little Luxury
Stella McCartney STELLANUDE Linen Mist has a lovely scent that when sprayed lightly in your lingerie drawer or on your sheets will fragrance your linens with a wonderful, almost retro scent.
Which is, of course, why I like it so much.
The notes include Moroccan rose, grapefruit, white peony, pink pepper, grey amber, vanilla, and musk.
This scent makes me want to float around wearing silk nightgowns with matching robes, sexy mules, and light candles. And really, when does that ever happen?

When I injured my back at work my employer denied that my injury occurred at work. Because of this they would not pay me disability benefits and pay for my doctors' bills. Since my back injury was so serious that it required surgery I could not work. My not having a pay check placed my family in a bad situation.
Although many of the issues in my case were complex, Attorney Sousa constantly met with me to explain what was going on with my case. He answered all my questions. Without the legal assistance I received from Sousa & Minogue, LLC , I do not know where my family would be today.
— Alfred S.
The law firm of Sousa & Minogue, LLC has represented me in my worker's compensation claim as a result of injuries to my neck, back, shoulders and knees that I sustained while working as a truck driver for United Parcel Service.
— George B.
Around six years ago my wife and I were going through some severe medical conditions which were attributed to work related injuries. We had no money coming in and things were beginning to get pretty hectic. I didn't know what to do.
When I came to Attorney Sousa I was in financial difficulties and had bill collectors chasing me all over the place. He was able to get me the money I needed and the surgery to fix me. I owe my life to Attorney Sousa.
— Robert and Elizabeth S.
I worked at UPS as a package car driver, while working, my truck was struck by another vehicle. The other driver was at fault. I sustained serious injuries, that with the assistance of great doctors and my family I have recovered from.
— Max T.
I have worked at Sikorsky Aircraft for over 32 years. As everyone knows who works there, our jobs are physically demanding and as a result we are often injured in the course of our employment. This is what happened to me. I injured my back while working.
— Ruth W.
I retained Attorney Sousa to represent me when I was injured at work. Initially I was concerned that if I pursued a claim I might lose my job. Attorney Sousa explained to me the law protected me from my employer discharging me because I filed a workers compensation claim.
— Bruno Z.
I worked for UPS at the Stratford terminal for fifteen (15) years as a package car driver. While working I sustained a number of serious injuries, injuries that required multiple surgeries and caused me to miss a significant time out of work.
— Brian L.
I was employed by the City of Stamford for over 25 years. During the course of my employment I sustained a serious injury to my back. I retained Attorney Sousa to represent me with respect to my workers' compensation claim.
— Ronald C.

CHRIS & NANCY Author Muchnick's Twitter Feed Publishes WWE Critique
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009–In a Twitter exclusive, Irvin Muchnick, author of the new book CHRIS & NANCY: The True Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide and Pro Wrestling's Cocktail of Death, has begun publishing in installments the complete text of World Wrestling Entertainment's legal threats to him while he was researching the book.
In an exchange of emails with Muchnick in June 2008, Jerry S. McDevitt of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis — WWE's outside counsel and registered Washington lobbyist — commented at length, often in colorful terms, on the serial reports on Muchnick's blog Wrestling Babylon on the progress of his book research. The blog's home page is now http://wrestlingbabylon.wordpress.com.
Earlier today, using Twitter's 140-maximum-character interface, Muchnick's Twitter feed, http://twitter.com/irvmuch, published the first 12 of a series of "tweets" documenting the McDevitt-Muchnick exchange in its entirety. The series will continue with 12-tweet daily bursts, accompanied by their daily collection in posts at the Wrestling Babylon blog.
This full text is also among the files included in a companion DVD of records related to Muchnick's research for CHRIS & NANCY.

Blok, Den (Haarlem, Noord-Holland, Netherlands)
Den Blok, (Vlaemschen), is the name of a well-known former meetinghouse of the Mennonites at Haarlem, Holland, in which the Flemish (later united Flemish, Frisian, and High German) congregation held its meetings for more than two centuries. In 1671, when a quarrel arose in this congregation, the meetinghouse was divided into two parts by erecting a stone wall in the middle of the building, in order that each group could use one part of the meetinghouse. The year 1670 mentioned in the Doopsgezinde Bijdragen article is wrong; it must be 1671.
Doopsgezinde Bijdragen (1863): 143-144.
